About: I have taken a vet assistance class and know how to tell if a pet needs help or not. I am good at connecting with animals aswell I love going out and going on adventures, and it would be good opportunities to take the pet out aswell to get fresh air and exercise. I make sure they have their bowls full with water and food, i take them out multiple times and walk around to a dog park near my house.
“Chelsea provided great communication throughout my dogs stay with her. She also had a welcoming environment for my two dogs. I felt confident and comfortable with leaving my dogs with her and would definitely have my dogs stay with her again.”
About: Ready to get those paws moving! As an Anchorage local, I know how important it is for our dogs to get fresh air and exercise, regardless of the weather. I specialize in high-energy walks to help burn off those "zoomies" so you can come home to a calm, happy pup. I’m punctual, active, and dedicated to making sure your dog has a safe and fun adventure every time I grab the leash. I currently do not work so I am available 24 x 7 at this time. Plenty of time to offer love & care to your fur babies. I am also available to stay or visit your place if you feel more secure that way. I'm looking for a few ongoing visits as to not only build a relationship with the fur babies but as to make the stays as stress free as possible for both human & pet. I have a 1 bed flat. Plenty of dog parks and places to go for a walk. I do have a fenced in yard but the dog parks and outside is where we like to be as a family.
“Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
About: I am a reliable caregiver for pets, growing up with dogs and now having cats of my own. I know the feeling of leaving my pets alone and want to ensure that you have comfort knowing your own will be taking care of according to your request. During the week, I am happy to let dogs out or take them on a walk after my work hours. I am flexible for house sitting, potty breaks, and walks on the weekends Friday night through Mondays. From the type of feed, to the comfort of my animals, it is my priority to ensure their environment is stress free, yet entertaining. I commit to doing the same for you when servicing your requests.
About: I'm a dog lover and owner available evenings and weekends to help others care for their pets. Large dogs, small dogs, and puppies are all welcome. I work full-time during the day but generally have evenings and weekends off. Please contact me beforehand to check availability. Spacious house good for playdates. Willing to board overnight, dog sit, take on walks, drop-in visit, take to the dog park, other dog services negotiable. Please text for more info.
About: Hey! I’m Aurora 🐾 Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience working with dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, basic care, and keeping pups on their normal routines while you’re away. I’m also very attentive to body language and behavior, so I’ll always take the time to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup is a couch potato, a crazy ball of energy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like one of my own. ❤️ I’d love to meet you and your pup and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I have plenty of time. In my schedule to come help out! Just let me know. Afternoons are best, or early mornings. Can’t wait to meet them. I have experience in dog first aid! Know dog body language, so I can read them to make sure they are comfortable. Dogs will always be on a leash! When outdoors. Unless in a fenced yard.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Anchorage is $49
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Kat is amazing! She took such great care of Beckett and sent frequent updates and photos even when we were out of service! They seemed to have so much fun and tons of play time and exercise! She even went out of her way to make sure that Beckett was safely dropped off at our friend’s house at the end when we weren’t quite home yet, and our electronic door lock was dead and she couldn’t get in. We will definitely plan to use her again!
Aubrey was great to work with from reservation through pick up. I even had to pick up the dogs mid reservation to get our health certificate to fly out with the week. She made everything seamless. I loved that she sent daily photos, this is a huge gift and very much appreciated. When I picked them up they were happy and healthy I couldn’t have been more pleased! Thanks Aubrey! *****
Alice was great with our needy pup. He’s got separation anxiety, but that wasn’t an issue because someone was always with him during his stay. There were plenty of humans and dogs to help put him at ease. Looking forward to more trips away now that we’ve got a great sitter!
Sondrea and Josh were absolutely the best sitters I have had! My golden puppy is a handful and they took such good care of him. I got so many pictures and videos. Sondrea met with me before my booking to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Excellent communication. My dog returned a very happy and tired boy. Thank you so much. 10/10 would rebook!
Cole was fantastic with Velvet, my 2-year-old rambunctious Norwegian Elkhound (who had truthfully run a few of my friends out of town). Cole sent me photos every day of a two week long vacation, obviously extending a lot of care to make sure Velvet was exercised in the middle of an early March cold snap. And that was after watching Velvet for the prior weekend, so I'm surprised Cole wasn't over my energetic doof of a dog! Cole was also extremely accommodating when travel plans threw curves our way, and we picked Velvet up a couple hours later than anticipated. I really appreciated his grace and kindness and would recommend him a thousand percent.
Kerry was amazing! She kept us updated throughout our whole boarding time. She was very accommodating to our dog who has severe anxiety, and even went out of her way to get our dog a new tag after the old one broke. Would definitely want to board our dog again with her! :)

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
